The Live Long programme aims to provide a range of social and physical activities for participants in order to improve both mental and social fitness, as well as physical.

The programme is delivered in partnership with the Sport Changes Life Foundation who say "Sport can be enjoyed by anyone regardless of their ability and age should not be a restriction or barrier to participation.  Here at Sport Changes Life we strive to improve peoples day to day lifestyles by using sport as a tool for engagement".

The programme offers sports such as badminton, pickleball, indoor bowls, boccia and table tennis and is aimed at people who are mobile and still enjoy being active.

*You can also take part in Walking Netball at the Antrim Forum, Monday 10.30am as part of the prorgamme. 

There is always time for refreshments and spare time to meet other people living similar lives and allow sport to be the reason that bring us all together. This is wonderful for the body and mind.

Join us while we explore some of our wonderful parks as we learn about the health benefits of Nordic Walking.

Nordic walking reduces pressure on your joints with the poles providing propulsion making you feel lighter on your feet. It's suitable for all abilities and poles will be provided on the day.

Each session will include information and training on the use of Nordic Poles and a guided walk.

Registration is not required, you can just come along. For more information, please contact us via E. more@antrimandnewtownabbey.gov.uk
